| What is the best crawler servo under $100?
I’m in the market for a new steering servo for my TRX4 Sport. I’ve added steel Gmade SR beadlocks with Proline Krawler with Dual Stage foam so I’d like to get something with 400oz/in either at 6v or achievable at 7.4v. I’m running the HW1080 and a Flysky receiver so should be fine. I’ve looked at the Savox 1210sg and 1270tg both are $80-$90. Both are over 400oz/in at 7.4v Is one of these the best option? Which one? Are there others I should consider? The new Holmes looks like it’s optimal voltage needs a 3S or 4S power source so I’m not considering it for now. |

I would step up to 3s and use as Holmes plugged directly in the battery. The 1080 can handle it and the TRX4 has a 550 21T motor which is more than fine on 3s. Just reduce the pinion if it's too fast. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk |

Fan Model FS-25W 25KG I like these off amazon. I use them in all mine. Work out great for what I do and they don't cost alot about 35 bucks. Sent from my SM-S367VL using Tapatalk |

Im not running Traxxas electronics. I’m running a HW1080 and Holmes Trailmaster Sport 550 27T. I’m currently running the Annimos 20kg servo which was supposed to be over 300oz/in at 7.4v but it’s not close to that according to tests and reviews recently.

| Re: What is the best crawler servo under $100? Out of those three I'd take the Savox, but it's not one I'd recommend. The Savox 1230 has more torque. It's just not "waterproof" but you can do that yourself. I don't waterproof my servos nor worry about getting them wet. I've only killed one from water and that was when I lost my Ascender off of a rock ledge above a stream and submarined it. Avoid the Reefs. From everything I can tell it's just a Chinese servo with an inflated price. The ProModeler is a joke on 6V and the owner is a dickhead if you reach out to him. |

I agree with all but the last, You’re the only person that doesn’t get along with John. My PM 420 is going strong still after 3 years, quiet and smooth at 7.4, Although I did run it at 6 to slow it down speed wise. For a 1.9 truck PM all the way. For a 2.2, Savox 2290 at 8.4 Hang up and Drive | |

I'm definitely not the only customer in the world that thinks the 470 isn't worth the money. There are a handful on this forum alone that have had similar experiences. If I'm going to spend another $100 on a servo it will be with something that works as claimed and has great customer service behind it. Last edited by JatoTheRipper; 02-04-2020 at 01:25 PM. | |

There's a whole thread dedicated to it here What the newest cheap servo hotness? I've been running the DSSERVO DS3235 for a few months now and it's great |

Savox seems to be really dependable unless you aren’t delivering enough amps, but with my setup I don’t have more than one servo. Also I did call Promodeler/Genesis Hobby and waiting on a call back. Jon | |

I’d go for an MKS BLS550 again. I’m used to quieter servos but it has been performing very well in my vs4-10.

| Re: What is the best crawler servo under $100? In regards to Savox, while I can't speak about the 1210SG, I can recommend the SB-2273SG, which I'm running in my TLR 8ight-XE. If it's powerful & fast enough for a 1/8 4WD off-road race buggy, it's good enough for your use. As for the Reef's & ProModeler servos, based on all the bad things I've been hearing about them (from multiple people), is say they're probably best to be avoided. I'd also suggest considering Hitec, as I've had great experiences with the for make years...first in helicopters, and more recently in my race vehicle & first Capra. ~ More peace, love, laughter & kindness would make the world a MUCH better place |
